The Last Kingdom of 1000 Years

What the world would have become without gold? Answers could not be found for platinum Nor spoken word could be drawn out for diamond Even the highly depreciated silver- To the poor is still uncommon like bronze Money talks before you get closer to the gems Money is the language that speaks for all gems But who controls the language to shiny gold? I am sure their hearts are as hard as bronze Blocking our way to precious platinum- That is in their majestic mansions of silver Where gates are as unbreakable as diamond These days, good hearts are as scarce as diamond So we are robbed of pure spiritual gems Human souls are valued less than silver- That is too low to the value of gold Folks are exploited to dig platinum And they get not even the worth of bronze This must be unyielding kingdom of bronze The devalued metal, unlike diamond- That adorns empresses, and platinum- That shines emporors, the owners of gems All ministers in palaces of gold Exploiting poor masses for more silver The real kingdom is coming where silver- Will be, to everyone, as common as bronze The great kingdom whose dust will be of gold The kingdom of infants dangling diamond- Like toys, where human spirits will be gems- Surpassing the glitters of platinum The world crisscrossed by streets of platinum Everyone jealousing no-one for silver Beautiful spirits valued more than gems Conquered and crushed be the kingdom of bronze So people's worth won't be evaluated in diamond The Word's Reign respecting not even gold When the glitters of gold and platinum And everything that is diamond and silver- And bronze fall, human gems will reign with Christ
